The New York Yankees had long been reported to eye Padres free agent shortstop Ha-Seong Kim as a replacement for Gleyber Torres, but Kim went to Tampa Bay.

The countdown to Spring Training is on. The New York Yankees take the field on February 21, less than four weeks away, against the Tampa Bay Rays at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida, to get their preseason schedule underway.

Former San Diego Padres free agent shortstop Ha-Seong Kim may land with the New York Yankees and move to second base, according to the analytics site Fangraphs.

The New York Yankees could look to sign a Gold Glove infielder from the San Diego Padres to replace infielder Gleyber Torres.

A proposed New York Yankee trade would replace Gleyber Torres with Brendan Donovan of the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Detroit Tigers are reportedly on the verge of signing former New York Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle to add a veteran bullpen presence.

New York keeps letting infielders fly off the market, and their penny-pinching owner is to blame.

The Yankees are making a long-term commitment to Jazz Chisholm at second base, a move that should significantly improve their defensive structure. Manager

New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner admitted that "it's difficult" for MLB team owners to compete with the Los Angeles Dodgers' spending, but also believes his team is better than it was at this time last year.

The Detroit Tigers reportedly are nearing a deal with former New York Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle in free agency.

No one in the projected lineup should come close to replicating Soto but Steinbrenner pointed to improvements in defense, pitching and more.

From Opening Day through August 16 — when Torres was reinserted back into the leadoff spot for the rest of the way — Yankees leadoff hitters had the second-worst on-base percentage of any team in baseball (.280). Their 81 wRC+ out of that spot of the order was the third-lowest mark in MLB.
